<br>Subject: Re: [Wine] How to install an application under WINE<br>To: <a href="mailto:stephanos@writeme.com">stephanos@writeme.com</a><br><br></span>First you want to log in and open a shell as the user you want to run the app and create the proper links under .wine/dosdevices/ for any paths you want accessable to windows applications. You can either do this directly or use winecfg, however I prefer to do this directly because winecfg does not setup the cdrom the way I want it (as drive z: with the device link as z::).
<br><br>Here is what I have in my dosdevices folder:<br><br>~/.wine/dosdevices $ pwd<br>/home/john/.wine/dosdevices<br>john@jmd1 ~/.wine/dosdevices $ ls -al<br>total 0<br>drwxr-xr-x 2 john users 168 Jul 29 22:46 .<br>drwxr-xr-x 4 john users 192 Aug 1 23:22 ..
<br>lrwxrwxrwx 1 john users 10 Jun 20 00:30 c: -> ../drive_c<br>lrwxrwxrwx 1 john users 10 Jul 29 22:46 d: -> /home/john<br>lrwxrwxrwx 1 john users 1 Jun 20 00:30 e: -> /<br>lrwxrwxrwx 1 john users 8 Jul 24 23:55 z: -> /mnt/dvd
<br>lrwxrwxrwx 1 john users 8 Jul 24 23:55 z:: -> /dev/dvd<br><br>After you have this setup correctly to install you usually first mount the cdrom <br><br>mount /mnt/dvd<br><br>then run <br><br>wine z:setup <br><br>
or
<br><br>wine z:install <br><br>to run the installer from the cd.<br><br>John<div><span class="e" id="q_10e067e81184b04c_1"><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/1/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Stephen Constantinou</b>
